Uncle Vanya

Apple Tree Theatre presents Brian Friel’s adaptation of Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya. Mark Lococo directs.

When a retired professor returns to the family estate with his new young wife, who is not much older than his own daughter, everyone’s daily routine is disrupted, Uncle Vanya’s most of all. The chickens are running loose, the professor’s gout is acting up, teatime runs all day, and those are just the minor distractions! The professor’s daughter is in love with the local doctor, but the doctor and Vanya have fallen in love with the professor’s new wife. In this timeless play of unrequited love, human foibles and family dysfunction, Chekhov offers a poignant and unforgettable evening of humor and compassion.
